The Rangers were hit hard by graduation with only seven starters (four offense, three defense) back. But coach Hill has proven time and time again that his program has the depth–41 returning lettermen–to reload. On offense, with bruising RB Lawrence Mattison gone, expect more from second-year starting QB Garrett Smith. He is a talented dual-threat passer who one of his favorite targets back in Joseph Barsalou. At RB, 5-foot-6 Cameron Jones will never be confused with Mattison, but has game-breaking speed that will help SV stretch the field. Starting safeties Shane Piatnik and Carlos Castello are back and will be counted on to lead an inexperienced defense that will break in an entirely new linebacking corps. Special teams should be a strength thanks to senior kicker Aaron Kennedy, who made five of seven field goals and 60 of 61 extra points last season.
